Obamas under fire from the left for never ending, sizzling ultra-luxury vacations
Fox News ^ | June 27,2017 | By Christopher Wallace

Posted on 06/27/2017 8:44:54 AM PDT by Hojczyk

The Democratic base is growing increasingly frustrated with former President Barack Obama’s actions after leaving office, including a seemingly endless tour of millionaire and billionaire luxury retreats, according to Democrats and activists contacted by Fox News.

Ex-presidents, understandably and un-controversially, go on vacations immediately after leaving office. But the level of luxury the Obamas enjoy on their vacations is unprecedented for a modern-day president, say travel experts.

Since leaving office in late January, Obama has visited late actor Marlon Brando’s private island; the Four Seasons in Bali -- where rooms cost upward of $2,000 per night; Indonesia; a Palm Springs estate; Sir Richard Branson’s Necker Island; the exclusive Mid Pacific Country Club in Oahu; the 13th-century Borgo Finocchieto in Tuscany; and the Rising Sun, Hollywood studio mogul David Geffen’s private yacht.

He has to start spending those millions in bribes he took from Iran.

What he does with his own money, I could care less (even if it’s partly ours). If it pisses the left off, more power to him. Vay-cay like it was 1999!

They put out Fake Polls showing Obama’s popularity has (supposedly) risen since he left office. Then they claim his own party disapproves of the way he’s spending his time.

They can’t keep their stories straight.

Incidentally, O’s posh lifestyle must really be hurting him. No way Chris Wallace would racistly list all the high end getaways if it weren’t in an effort to grab Obama’s attention, and get him to alter course.

......’The level of luxury the Obamas enjoy on their vacations is unprecedented for a modern-day president”......

This should surprise no one.....especially those who supported him. Did they think even for a second he didn’t run for the gold? .....they showed their colors throughout his Presidency and that is only going to increase. They travel with those of like minds and wealth now.....with no thought to those they left in the dust......

He’s not taking vacations, he’s being helped by his rich lib buds avoiding arrest by staying out of the Country!

At least our Secret Service folks get a taste of the good life too.
Maybe make it like “perk”?
Go to Bali for two weeks, but you you to watch The Mooch.
Go to a fine resort for a long weekend, but you have to hang with OboZo.

Conflicted emotions.

Like if your mother-in-law drove off a cliff in your brand new Super Duty . . .

CLINT EASTWOOD said it well: “President Obama Is The Greatest Hoax Ever Perpetrated On The American People.”

BO is a professional moocher, grifter, liar, fraud, and scumbag. Shame on those who voted for such an unqualified, godless, juvenile delinquent to our highest elected office.

Be assured he set things in motion before he left for his vacations. I thought I read here that he has established community organizers in nearly every state. Anybody remember this?

And carbon taxes are also for little people.

If he really believed the religion of climate change, he wouldn’t live as he does.

No doubt the secret service assigned to him are loving it and that IS at the Taxpayers expense.......but this behavior by the Obamas is their normal since they took office to begin with......remember they go “high”....no matter the cost.

Personally I just think they want to be seen now as the rich and famous along with traveling in those circles. It’s typical for blacks to leave in the dust their own once they get out of the hood. Duly noted is they didn’t buy their new home in Chicago, rather in DC.

I agree. The more vacation, the better for America. I wouldn’t mind him going on vacation for the rest of his life and have all the amenities afforded. Could care less.

At least he is being consistent in office and out of office.
